Hello, Dear Ones. Yep, that's what I said and that's what I did ~ Cheat! Cheat! I've kinda cheated on my tablescape today. You've seen this tablescape, almost, before. I've just changed a few things and hope this will qualify me and that I won't be kicked out of the tablescapeing world! :(
I did use different napkin rings and I sigh as I escaped the cheating game on this element. It is a pretty napkin ring, don't you think? :)
I'm still sighing for a moment.
I do realize Christmas is over and it's a new year, but hey, I've been so busy, so I've cheated. I admit it! I cheated here, I cheated there and I almost cheated everywhere! Well, I will ask forgiveness and I will go on!
I'm joining The Charm of Home for Home Sweet Home Party
Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Your Cheatin' Heart
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry, and try to sleep.
But sleep won't come, the whole night through.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain,
You'll toss around, and call my name.
You'll walk the floor, the way I do.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain,
You'll toss around, and call my name.
You'll walk the floor, the way I do.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
You'll cry and cry, and try to sleep.
But sleep won't come, the whole night through.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain,
You'll toss around, and call my name.
You'll walk the floor, the way I do.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.
When tears come down like falling rain,
You'll toss around, and call my name.
You'll walk the floor, the way I do.
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you.

I like the doiles as the placemats, great idea. My table is round and so many placemats just do not look right. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWell, I love it, cheat or no cheat.LOL
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table Shelia.
How are you sweet cheater? You made me crack up and that is good, you have such great and sweet sense of humor! I love your table before and love it now even more. I love your little Lenox tree under glass and the inexpensive dishes are so lovely! Happy Kings Day and hugs.

I think cheating is allowed in tablescaping! In fact I think it's great to use our things again and again in different ways!! I still need to do a tablescape so you are ahead of me! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, If this is cheating I love what you did. You can do anything you want in the tablescaping world. No rules and this is just right. Smile.
ReplyDeleteXO, Jeanne
I think you are forgiven since your cheating heart was in the right place, Shelia. The table looks lovely. I love the doilies used as placemats. The dainty look of the white doilies with the bold colored napkins is very pretty. I hope your conscience is clear, now. ---------- Shannon
ReplyDeleteYour table looks amazing so I don't think it matters that you cheated a little!!
ReplyDeleteLove it all...cheating works!!! Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteChristmas may be over ~ but who wants to put away those lovely Christmas things? Your tablescape is charming!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Susan and Bentley
I literally laughed out loud at your song choice! ha! When reading your posts, I always anticipate what song you will choose to pair with the post!
ReplyDeleteGreat tablescape, and we'll just call it "fudging a little!" How about that! :)
Love the bright, new cheerful header!
Hi Shelia, Your tables are always beautiful and who cares if you keep some beautiful elements that are just to pretty to put away. I love your sense of humor sweet girl! Looks completely different anyway…Hope your holidays were wonderful and wishing you and yours the best of the New Year………

Hi Shelia
ReplyDeleteYou aren't cheating...no no no nanette! You changed it up some and it was very welcoming and I would have joined you for some peach tea...*s*...
Your target plates are very nice I was going to get some at 1/2 price from our Canadian Tire...hmmmmm...I should have.
Nice to be sitting at your table today...have a wonderful evening...
Judi
Does this mean you are cheating on yourself????? :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table and I ADORE your holiday dishes! What pattern is this?
Hi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteYou cheater, you. ;) I'm really surprised, but at least you owned up to it. This is such a funny post, and I love the song you closed with. You can't go wrong with Patsy Kline.
Your table is so pretty, Shelia. My favorite thing is your Lenox Christmas tree under glass. That's just a beautiful tree.
Thanks for sharing and Happy 2012 to you!
Hugs,
Denise
No No Miss Shelia. You are re-purposing! :) I hear its all the rage. :)
ReplyDeleteYour table is darling as ever!
I hope you are off to a Happy New Year!
~Liz
You are too funny! It's lovely and I would have never known without you being so totally truthful! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this lovely post to Potpourri Friday!
It's pretty, Shelia! I don't call that cheating...I call that being smart! I hope that your 2012 is off to a great start! Happy Saturday!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteOh guess a little cheating never hurt anyone. I for one had not seen this before so see, it was all new to me and lovely too. I like the napkin rings. Hugs...Lu
ReplyDeleteOh, that's funny! Your table looks lovely...the doilies look perfect as placemats!
ReplyDeleteThe dishes may be Target, but I love their vintage appeal! Holly always does it for me for winter! andrea@townandprairie
ReplyDeleteShelia, you are so cute! If reusing stuff gets you kicked out of the tablescaping world, I'm in heap big trouble! I love the dollie idea...I may steal that one from ya! Love the napkins and love the china from that expensive French store, Tarjay. It's all so pretty against the warmth of the wood table. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteXO
lol...I think it's a great transition from Christms to a fresh winter look...so I don't think it's cheating! I laughed when I saw your song pick...perfect!

I've been browsing on-line more than three hours lately, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful price sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the internet will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.
